Product Description
Most people believe that sucralose (Splenda) is a perfectly safe artificial sweetener. Big business and the FDA have fostered that dangerous misconception. The truth is Splenda is by no means safe; and the same is true for many of the other artificial sweeteners being marketed today. Dr. Joseph Mercola---supported by extensive studies and research---exposes the fact that Splenda actually contributes to a host of serious diseases. Sweet Deception will lay out how the FDA really works for big food companies and should not be trusted when it comes to your health. |

Great read by J. DeFalco  5 Stars
September 23, 2009
The book starts by explaining how your body deals with real sugar, and then goes into all the artificial sweeteners and the facts. The story of how aspartame came to be is rather scary.
While the books does throw science at you here and there, it's an informative, easy read.
More people should know what they are putting into their body and what it may be doing to them.
